Omayra McDevitt
Hi there, my name is Omayra S. McDevitt and I am a Kutztown University graduate and licensed in PA. With 5 years of experience in the field of counseling, I am passionate about providing comprehensive care to my clients. I have a special interest in preventive care and chronic disease management such has substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and life transitioning treatment. My goal in counseling is to help clients feel empowered, heard, and valued. I am an active member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and an advocate for mental health wellness. In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with my family, listening to a variety of music, and attending local health fairs.
I have experienced many breakthroughs throughout the year that have been big and small with clients. One of the first breakthroughs I was a part of, was when a client had transitioned from intensive outpatient to outpatient after having multiple attempts in treatment. Coming from a substance abuse background, whenever a client achieves a goal, even the smallest one, it has been considered a breakthrough for me.
One word: relaxed. My clients can expect to have counseling sessions to be open and honest conversations that work towards their goals that have been collaborated on.
An impromptu interview. I will gage clients on what they are struggling with and what type of goals they would like to achieve. I want to ensure that the client feels comfortable.
I have a passion for helping clients achieve their goals and live to their fullest potential.
